I thought this article posted on the American Historical Association website was great. It talks about the reaction to the job market for American History Ph.Ds. To those of you outside of academia, it probably seems like common sense, or something similar to what you have experienced on the job market. I liked that they mentioned that there are already a cohort of PhDs with jobs outside of academia that are perfectly happy and publishing with academic presses, so this "dilemma" is nothing new. I have always thought the skills I am learning from my experience are valuable and marketable and don't think there is just one job out there for me because of that.
